| notes = * If the target dies before spell's duration ends, gain {{IconLink|size=28|Reapply Hex Icon.png|Reapply Hex}}
* Unlike the tabletop version, this spell lasts until the caster's concentration is broken.
* '''Hex''' damage is applied multiple times for multiple successful {{Attack Roll}}s. Example scenarios:
** Warlock hits the target with a melee or ranged weapon attack: additional {{DamageText|1d6|Necrotic}}.
** Level 1 Warlock casts {{SAI|Eldritch Blast}} and hits the target: additional {{DamageText|1d6|Necrotic}}.
** Level 5 Warlock casts {{SAI|Eldritch Blast}} and hits the target with '''both''' rays: additional {{DamageText|2d6|Necrotic}}, for hitting twice.
** Level 3 Warlock casts {{SAI|Scorching Ray}} and hits the target with '''all three rays''': additional {{DamageText|3d6|Necrotic}}, for hitting three times.
** Level 5 Warlock casts {{SAI|Scorching Ray}} and hits the target with '''all four rays''': additional {{DamageText|4d6|Necrotic}}, for hitting four times.
* '''Hex''' is only triggered by hitting the target with a successful [[Attack Roll]], and not by other sources of damage. Example scenarios:
** Warlock casts {{SAI|Magic Missile}} (which does not require [[Attack Roll]]s): no additional damage from '''Hex'''.
** Warlock casts {{SAI|Fireball}} (which is a [[Saving Throw]], not an Attack Roll): no additional damage from '''Hex'''.
* Clarification: The in-game description says it grants 'Disadvantage on an Ability of your choosing', but it only applies to Checks, not all rolls utilising that Ability: the target still rolls normally on Saving Throws and Attack rolls.
* In Early Access Patch 9, there was a bugged interaction between '''Hex''' and the [[Eldritch Invocation]] {{SAI|Agonising Blast}}, which caused '''Agonising Blast''' bonus damage to be applied an extra time for each instance of '''Hex''' damage.
** In the case of a level 5 Warlock with two Eldritch Blast beams, this means Agonising Blast damage would be applied a total of '''4 times''', if both beams hit: once for each beam, and once for each instance of Hex damage.
* Hex has two incantations: '''Te Exsecro''', Latin for "I curse you", and '''Maledictus''', Latin for "speak ill of/abuse".
